Upcoming Test!

Just a reminder that in the middle of next week, you will have your 2nd test of the year!  It's going to cover all of the naming we have done in this unit, but don't fret:  you get to use your periodic tables.

Your periodic table is like a cheat sheet for this test.  All of the following will be useful:

• Charges at the top of the representative element families
• Knowing what section contains the transition metals (hint: that tells you that you need to use roman numerals!), and where to find metals/nonmetals (so you know if you have an ionic compound...metal-nonmetal...or a molecular compound...nonmetal-nonmetal)
• The big list of polyatomic ions on the back side (know how to use them!)
• The small box of prefixes at the bottom of the front side (hint: only use them for molecular compounds!  nonmetal-nonmetal)
